    Episode 7 - Three Hollywood Pariahs Walk Into A Bar - Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005) Review

    This week on Movies After Midnight, Night Owl Jones returns to the basement to break down 2005’s Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. We dig into how three major Hollywood pariahs at the time (writer Shane Black, Robert Downey Jr., and Val Kilmer) came together against all odds to pull off this neo-noir. We break it all down, from the $15 million budget and Joel Silver taking a chance to a dead girl in a bathtub, an accidental Russian roulette execution, and a truly logic-defying highway shootout. Plus, we debate whether the fourth-wall-breaking narration ruins an otherwise great flick, and tease next week's watchlist pull, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension.  Check out FilmInk's article about Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang and what was happening behind the scenes - https://www.filmink.com.au/rewind-the-making-of-kiss-kiss-bang-bang-2005/  📩 Email the show: moviesaftermidnightpod@gmail.com 📸 Instagram: @moviesaftermidnightpod 📱 TikTok: @mamhostedbynightowljones 🎬 Letterboxd: NightOwlJones Don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave a 5-star rating on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube to help new listeners find us down in the basement!  Tell a friend about us! #KissKissBangBang #ShaneBlack #RobertDowneyJr #ValKilmer #MichelleMonaghan #NeoNoir #MovieReview #2005Cinema #MoviesAfterMidnight #FilmPodcast #Letterboxd #MoviePodcast Send us Fan Mail

    Episode 6 - Point Shaving & Nut Shots (The Longest Yard 1974)

    This week on Movies After Midnight, Night Owl Jones celebrates the new NFL season by tackling the 1974 prison-football classic The Longest Yard. We dig into Burt Reynolds as the ultimate unlikable antihero, the anti-establishment grit of director Robert Aldrich, and why this movie still holds up better than most generic sports flicks, even if you hate sports movies. We break down it all, from the bizarre mud-wrestling and Caretaker getting burned alive to back-to-back poorly timed fourth-quarter nut shots. Plus, we debate whether Paul Crewe actually earns his hero status or just goes back to being a point-shaving sleazebag, review the Rotten Tomatoes consensus, and tease next week's watchlist pull, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. 📩 Email the show: moviesaftermidnightpod@gmail.com 📸 Instagram: @moviesaftermidnightpod 📱 TikTok: @mamhostedbynightowljones 🎬 Letterboxd: NightOwlJones Don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave a 5-star rating on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube to help new listeners find us down in the basement! #TheLongestYard #BurtReynolds #RobertAldrich #MovieReview #SportsMovies #70sCinema #MoviesAfterMidnight #FilmPodcast #Letterboxd #MoviePodcast  Send us Fan Mail

    Episode 5 - Agricultural Sabotage & Sewer Antibiotics (10 Cloverfield Lane & The Last House)

    This week on Movies After Midnight, Night Owl Jones returns to the basement studio for a our first ever Midnight Double Feature that asks one fundamental question... Is the real monster outside the door, or sitting right across the room? First up, we descend into the bunker for Dan Trachtenberg’s tight, paranoia-fueled 10 Cloverfield Lane. We break down John Goodman’s terrifyingly grounded performance, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s unmatched survival instincts. Then, we seal ourselves into the basement for the 2026 suspense thriller The Last House. We talk about it all, from the home-invasion logic, agricultural sabotage and sewer antibiotics to chimney fishing, bad science, and whether the third-act twists hold up under our brand of scrutiny. 📩 Email the show: moviesaftermidnightpod@gmail.com  📸 Instagram: @moviesaftermidnightpod  📱 TikTok: @mamhostedbynightowljones  🎬 Letterboxd: NightOwlJones Don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave a 5-star rating on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube to help new listeners find us down in the basement! #10CloverfieldLane #TheLastHouse #MovieReview #ThrillerMovies #JohnGoodman #MaryElizabethWinstead #MoviesAfterMidnight #FilmPodcast #Letterboxd #MoviePodcast #WagnerMoura #DoubleFeature Send us Fan Mail

    Episode 4 - Hayden Panettiere and Sleepwalker (2026) Review

    This week on Movies After Midnight, Night Owl Jones returns to the basement studio, a couple of days late, but with a full heart, to recognize the late Hayden Panettiere. We’re taking a look back at her career journey from child actor in Remember the Titans to TV superstar on Heroes and fan-favorite in Scream 4. Then, we break down her final film role in the 2026 psychological thriller Sleepwalker.  We talk about it all, from the nightmare logic and mangled CGI hands to Justin Chatwin's endless shouting, a ghost horse, and a jaw-dropping twist ending that fails to land. 📺 Watch the People Magazine Hayden Panettiere Interview referenced in this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmrA62W4EOw 📩 Email the show: moviesaftermidnightpod@gmail.com 📸 Instagram: @moviesaftermidnightpod 📱 TikTok: @mamhostedbynightowljones 🎬 Letterboxd: NightOwlJones Don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave a 5-star rating on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube to help new listeners find us down in the basement! #HaydenPanettiere #Sleepwalker #MovieReview #Heroes #Scream4 #RememberTheTitans #MoviesAfterMidnight #FilmPodcast #Letterboxd #HorrorPodcast #VODMovies Send us Fan Mail

    Episode 3 - 127 Hours Review

    This week Night Owl Jones wraps up the summer heatwave series by venturing into the heart of the Bluejohn Canyon for what is essentially the James Franco one man show, 127 Hours. We’re breaking down how Danny Boyle stayed accurate to the incredible true-story, that agonizing amputation scene, and whether or not a movie so brutal has any rewatchability.  📩 Email the show: moviesaftermidnightpod@gmail.com  📸 Instagram: @moviesaftermidnightpod  📱 TikTok: @mamhostedbynightowljones  🎬 Letterboxd: NightOwlJones Don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave a 5-star rating on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube to help new listeners find us in the basement!  #127Hours #MovieReview #JamesFranco #DannyBoyle #SurvivalMovies #MoviesAfterMidnight #FilmPodcast #Letterboxd  Send us Fan Mail
